Immunofluorescent staining is commonly used to generate images to characterize cytological phenotypes. The manual quantification of DNA double-strand breaks and their repair intermediates during meiosis using image data requires a series of subjective steps, from image selection to the counting of particular events per nucleus. Here we describe "synapsis," a bioconductor package, which includes a set of functions to automate the process of identifying meiotic nuclei and quantifying key double-strand break formation and repair events in a rapid, scalable, and reproducible workflow, and compare it to manual user quantification.

Helicases, which utilize ATP hydrolysis to separate nucleic acid duplexes, play crucial roles in DNA and RNA replication, repair, recombination, and transcription. Categorized into the major groups superfamily 1 (SF1) and superfamily 2 (SF2), alongside four minor groups, these proteins exhibit a conserved catalytic core indicative of a shared evolutionary origin while displaying functional diversity through interactions with various substrates. This review summarizes the structures, functions and mechanisms of SF1 and SF2 helicases, with an emphasis on conserved ATPase sites and RecA-like domains essential for their enzymatic and nucleic acid binding capabilities.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread chronic, progressive, degenerative joint disease that causes pain and disability. Current treatments for OA have limited effectiveness and new biomarkers need to be identified. Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to explore differentially expressed genes and DNA repair/recombination protein 54 L (RAD54L) was selected.

DNA metabolic processes including replication, repair, recombination, and telomere maintenance occur on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). In each of these complex processes, dozens of proteins function together on the ssDNA template. However, when double-stranded DNA is unwound, the transiently open ssDNA is protected and coated by the high affinity heterotrimeric ssDNA binding Replication Protein A (RPA).
